[OPEN]

[shorttempered]

Characters: Mark Grayson and OPEN
Date: July after the event
Location: Various
Situation: Now that everything's returning back to normal, Mark's getting used to being Invincible again.
Warnings/Rating: None, but will update as necessary!

A - Mark
[Mark had felt guilty abandoning his job for as long as he had, even if the circumstances were totally understandable... So he decided to make up for this by diving wholeheartedly into his work. Depending on when you walk by the Wayne Enterprises construction site in the Water sector, you can come across Mark doing various tasks at the site: helping the other workers carry beams, looking over the schematics... just generally overseeing the construction like he's supposed to.

At one point a worker informs him they left a tool at another site in a different district and can't continue, though a few minutes later that same worker miraculously finds it after feeling a gust of wind at their back...]

B - Invincible
[It was weird getting into the costume again, but a good kind of weird. He's grown so used to being Invincible over the last few years it almost seems like he's not himself when he's just being "Mark." Not that he dislikes Mark, but it's getting so hard to hide who he truly is. Being powerless was a good reminder of exactly who he was before he tossed that garbage bag into orbit and that he had survived far longer without his Viltrumite powers as he had with it.

...That said, flying was still the most awesome thing in the world to do. He can be found zipping back and forth all around the turtle, testing himself to see just how back to normal things are. Some laps are definitely better than others, as he once dips and almost hits a building during one of them. He's also not going to let a crime pass him by, especially now that the rest of the kedan won't threaten him on sight.]

[OOC: If you want to roll with something other than those two, feel free to either PM me, reach out to me at redconfession, or just start a thread, your choice!!]

No, no. It’s just- I wanted my family to show up too, but I don’t want to that to be why I see them again.

[With some effort, she managed to wrangle the hard hat off, even though it tugged at her hair.]

Hey. I’m distracting you from your job and I don’t want you to get in trouble because of it. [And be responsible for making him feel down about his loved ones.]

Don’t ever feel bad for wanting to say how you feel about the people close to you, that’s just unhealthy. [It took her quite a lot to get to that point of openness, and journey hadn’t been a fun one. Sparing Mark that was the least she could do.]

You got Eve, I’m sure she’ll want to know if something’s bugging you.

[shorttempered]

No, it's fine... [But he can tell he's made her uncomfortable with all of the death talk, so he's willing to let it go. He doesn't mean to be so morbid, but lately it's hard not to be.]

Thanks for stopping by. Next time I won't depress you with my rambling, promise. [Only... he's not sure he can abide by that promise.]

[alphatar]

Hey- [She tossed the helmet at one of the kedan who was looking for hardhat.] rambling’s not always fun, but it is important. I only had my polar bear dog to ramble at until half a year ago, so trust me. You’re good.

[She gave a him a firm slap on the shoulder, which would have left a red hand print on any mere mortal man.]

Thanks for letting me listen.

[shorttempered]

[Polar bear... dog? He made a mental note to ask her about it, and remembered to wince when she hit him.]

Thanks for letting me ramble. Talk to you later?

[alphatar]

Sure! I’m in ME-2B if you’re ever in Metal. [And she’ll even have her polar bear dog next time to explain.]

[shorttempered]

Got it. See you later. [Waves and starts heading back to work.]
